2/11/26 9AM: We’re Not Angry Enough: Strategy Over Outrage

Sherwin reflects on Milwaukee’s Black History Month celebration, honoring former Mayor Marvin Pratt and highlighting the importance of mentorship and intergenerational leadership. He challenges the idea that public anger alone creates change, arguing that the political system is built to absorb outrage without shifting power. He makes the case that real revolution is education and strategy—not rebellion. Sherwin connects strong public education, especially for Black children, to safer communities and criticizes outdated MPS policies that harm students and fuel long-term instability. The hour closes with a sharp critique of corporations and government systems that prioritize power and profit over people. Sherwin argues that surface-level reforms—whether in schools, policing, or courts—won’t create real change without structural action and policy reform.
